I use vim on some systems, nvi on others; the latter is a direct descendant of the original vi.
nvi is not in anyway a direct descendant of vi, it shares nothing with it other than how it behaves, much like vim. nvi is a complete reimplementation of vi since vi was (and maybe still is) non-free software at the time. nvi was in turn based on elvis, which was a free clone of vi.
